b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.

Choosing a nursery for your child is always a testing decision but I can hand on heart say that Abacus was the right decision for my Son. He joined the nursery at just 8 months and has already learned so much. The staff are welcoming and just by the smile on his face when he arrives in the morning, I know he is in the best place for him. His education is as important to the staff as it is to me and I am so grateful for that.

We would highly recommend this nursery. We sent our oldest daughter here and she loved it, therefore, we didn't hesitate to send our youngest. All the staff are wonderful with the children and we know our daughter is in safe hands when we leave her. She comes out at the end of each day full of what she has done and we have noticed how much progress she has made since she started. The staff are friendly, easy to talk to and always willing to help wherever possible. Abacus really has become a big part of our lives over the last few years and we have appreciated their help and guidance. Highly recommend them and couldn't fault them in any way.
